About Me

Danni Ravden, Comedian

Before playing Svetlana, Ravden braved stages and screen in New York and Los Angeles for 8 years, performing in theatre (and typical of Hollywood, waiting tables in a diner) 

In both the States and Europe, Danni trained as a nutritionist and genuine counsellor (although any “clients” her characters refer too are 100% fictitious)  Along the way Danni travelled to India to train as a yoga teacher, and has been on many spiritual processes in an attempt to “find herself” (since then she realised she profoundly dislikes yoga) and the rest remains a mystery!

Returning to the stage, Ravden has gathered her training in wellness and psychology to bring to life her alter ego Svetlana Stanislav.

Born out of a rant video on social media, Svetlana has gained followers around the globe with her hilarious “self help” videos. Inspired by new-age Instagram life coaches and gurus, Svetlana is an “unconventional” life-coach, who offers some controversial advice to everyday problems whilst also enjoying a good old rant.

You might find her advice transformative or traumatising.

The mission is to bring dark observational truths to life coaching. 

Svetlana is like a tequila shot; has to be taken with a pinch of salt. 

Danni performs in the character of Svetlana, using her originally written material for stand up comedy shows.

Danni’s acting range is diverse, in her videos she plays some of Svetlana’s made up clients such as ‘Lemon’, a self entitled new age LA yogi.  ‘Mildred’ an anxiety ridden reclusive agoraphobic and ‘Chantelle’ a foul mouthed British chav who enjoys spray tans and mink eyelashes.

All videos are improvised and unedited so we never know where Svetlana is going to go, but be warned she has the mouth of a drunk pirate.
